Hi Guys!
Elton is awesome. Your Song, his very first big hit, is too. It truly is one of those tunes that defined a certain sound for the piano in contemporary music. Elton, (and "Your Song") is therefore truly a grandfather, a trendsetter of our beloved Pop-Piano approach, playing by chords and patterns.
In this tutorial I'll show you:
- How to play the exact parts of Your Song as per played by Elton John himself
- How this is all translated and learned most conveniently through the chords & pattern approach
- Some juiced up versions of basic triads combined with cool, typical "Elton"-style patterns
Have fun learning how to play "Your Song" on piano!
Cheers, Coen.
